An initial process decision table and a process evolution process

Abstract

The Incremental Commitment Spiral Model (ICSM) presented in an ICSSP 2014 tutorial includes several decision milestones at which evidence of the feasibility of the proposed process is evaluated, and at which the stakeholders decide whether to proceed with it or to change course, based on the risk of proceeding with the proposed process. This generates a large number of potential processes, but we have found risk patterns that provide selection criteria for a set of common cases for at least the initial process.
